Focusrite Clarett 8Pre Thunderbolt Audio Interface

Anybody use this with good results?
I'm considering it for home studio use for drum mics n guitar/vocal inputs...using MC7. I'm just now reading up on specs....Midi capable I hope? Thx any input ;-)

    Focusrite currently don't support Thunderbolt-3 for Windows.
    In short, that means you don't have "PCIe via Thunderbolt" support (needed for PCIe level performance).
     
    We now have full "PCIe via Thunderbolt" under Win10 (if running one of the latest Z170x or X99p motherboards that offer Thunderbolt-3 via USB-C port).  You also need a USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter ~$84.

    So maybe this Presonus is better to consider with Win10 ??  
    This seems like a decent deal .....unless any concerns with this vs Focus with extra stuff to work with my system..
    Thx
